Love em and don't mind Morrissey either. He can be a right wing dick but still pens a clever lyric. The Queen Is Dead, magnificent. Yes indeed, The Queen Is Dead was probably their pinnacle.

If I was to go to a desert Island for the rest of my life with only one artist/bands back catalogue it would be the Smiths any day of the week...honorable mentions to The Jam, Bowie and Kinks

I know Stu mentioned this on the Radio discussion but I thought we should have a post on The Smiths thread too... Simon Armitage in his shed on Radio 4 with Johnny Marr strumming chords on a 12 string acoustic?
That's your licence fee right there...  The Poet Laureate Has Gone to His Shed
Johnny MarrIf the poets of the past sat in their garrets dipping their quills in ink and waiting for inspiration to strike, our current Poet Laureate Simon Armitage has a more mundane and domestic arrangement. From his wooden shed in the garden, surrounded on all sides by the Pennine Hills and the Pennine weather, this summer he's working on a set of haikus inspired by the landscape around him and the people who drop by.
Any distraction is welcome, even encouraged, to talk about poetry, creativity, music, art, sheds, sherry, music and the countryside.
To kick off the new series Johnny Marr, who first achieved fame as the guitarist and co-songwriter of The Smiths, takes the trip over the Pennines from Manchester to visit the shed, along with his new twelve-string guitar. In a conversation punctuated by snatches of Smiths songs, Johnny Marr talks about his life in music and gives the Poet Laureate, a huge fan of The Smiths, a private run-through of chord sequences from his back catalogue.

Can't be worse than the tuneless wonder that did the vocals on the originals.

What with Ukraine, Tory Parties and Covid in general, Mozza is probably missing the attention. Cue usual stupidity.

Dunno if i have mentioned it on here already somewhere, but to my ears Morrissey and The Smiths sound alot like The Monochrome Set on a couple of songs, especially their classic album Eligible Bachelors. M'Thinks - That records was a couple of years ahead of it's time  |
